im sure i posted this workaround before, but if you use the Apple+N command to open the Add Window, but before closing it, press Apple+N again, another Add Window opens as a floating window that doesn't close when you click add.

gaudeamus igitur (let us rejoice therefore!) thats latin for all you proles

iPhone OS 3.1 fixes all my sync issues, it took a good long while (about 10 minutes to pack and sync) but it did it.

Stu Wilson replied on July 13, 2009 06:39 to the question "Cannot add an iPhone as a gadget" in Delicious Monster:

since the iPhone is not sold outside of Apple and the partner mobile providers, Amazon does not have a code for what is does not sell.

Add it using the Add Blank Gadget and fill in its details your self.

A comment on the question "iPhone syncing and pairing issues" in Delicious Monster:

ok, from everything i've researched recently, there appear to be some issues with WiFi on iPhone OSX 3.0 as well as the known BT bug. Wifi is intermittent with bar fluctuating randomly, forgetting joined networks, and general flakiness.

3.1 apparently does fix at least the wifi issue, don't know about the BT one.

From testing sync, I can sync a small shelf under 50 items easy, anything that takes longer than 20 seconds to pack and transfer, then the chances of Wifi dropout are too great and you get the great "there was a hiccup" message or even worse the "where = the = frack = did= my = sync = window = go = the = bugger = just = disappeared!" error.

Im still surprised that sync over cable is not implemented. – Stu Wilson, on July 10, 2009 21:24

If you use the Import from itunes Applescript, then you can have whatever you want in your library. it just wont update as iTunes is updated.

Stu Wilson replied on July 10, 2009 21:13 to the question "isight causing constant crashes" in Delicious Monster:

Brad, can you share some information about your mac?

Type? Processor? Memory? OS Version? DL2 version?
Internal/External iSight?

Secondly, if you turn off iTunes (Subscribe to my iTunes Library) in preferences, what happens then when you open the Scan window?

Julie

I'm surprised that no one has answered this, this is what Terry from DM wrote in another thread:

<quote>Anyone who needs license info should email me at support@delicious-monster.com. I need your full name and the email address you used to purchase.</quote>

Hope you get sorted soon.

Stu Wilson replied on July 10, 2009 21:04 to the question "No real sorting?" in Delicious Monster:

... however, their are some issues where titles with articles (the, a, an etc) are not correctly ordered

Stu Wilson replied on July 07, 2009 21:40 to the question "Beginner seeking assistance" in Delicious Monster:

open the program, open the Scan window, hold up a book/CD/DVD/Game with a barcode, wait till it beeps, wait for the tubes to deliver your info into DL2

repeat and rinse.

Stu Wilson replied on July 07, 2009 21:38 to the question "iPhone app not available?" in Delicious Monster:

Will this mean that Wil will have to remove the iPhone sync capability from DL2 so that we cannot infringe Amazon's terms of use.

Secondly, amongst all that gobbledegook in the Amazon API terms of Use, how much of the data do Amazon consider their own?

Certainly, Reviews, Recommendations, Ratings are definitely theirs, but what about Title and Creator, surely they are public domain. I'd be banging on their door looking for clarification as what constitutes public domain and what they consider theirs (this notwithstanding)

Stu Wilson replied on July 07, 2009 12:46 to the question "Multiple users, one library" in Delicious Monster:

I see no reason why it wont work, however there would be issues if the machine with the Library wasn't on obv.

personally, i'd use automount, there's a nice page here describing it:
http://sial.org/howto/osx/automount/

the main caveats to that are the UID and GID must match on the two machine, but generally, root and wheel are the same, but I'd check first.
